ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful husband, Simon, our daughter, and —whenever possible— lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and —of course— antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

Christmas isn't over until Epiphany !
I liked Terry and Ash's wish for Christmas, windows and tools.
What a lovely vlog ❤❤❤❤❤Love seeing some of my favorite chateau couples in the Q&A and cracked up at some of their answers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Happy New Year 🎆🎊😍😘
Thank You for this visit to Chambord!
The decorations at Chenonceau were way more stunning than Chambord. A visit to Chateau Chambord is on my list. Loved the answers to your questions with the other chateau owners. Wishing you both many special moments in 2025 x
Happy New Year 2025🎉
Absolutely Loved that xx it was great to spend time with you a couple of times this year, a very happy 2025 to you all, and we look forward to seeing you again soon xx
Brilliant video. All good wishes for 2025. Stay safe and in good health 🙏 ❤️
Your Bird Plates are exquisite. You have outdone yourself with the details. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy New Year 🎉
Happy New Year!
I don't do resolutions. I do intentions. My New Year Intention: I am determiend to make 2025 MY Year business wise and regain access to my branded YouTube channel, that I don't have access to temporarily. Piece fo advice: Don't use 2step verification it can seriously fudge up everything!
The Chateau de Chambord look very beautiful lit up on the outside for the night. This is my favourite picture. My dog was exhausted after the holidays. I entertained 4 different grouups of friends and my Shih Tzu was super great but also super tired after each party. He is very social and loving and this was a more than usual busy time. Maybe next year I'll get him a tuxedo and bow tie. He welcomes and walks with them to the door to say goodbye.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO CHATEAU LOVE from Ontario Canada.
Thank you for sharing this Vivienne. All the best for a wonderful new year! Every time I see your hand painted plates, I’m in awe of your amazing talents!
Wonderful video ❤🎉.
You made me smile. Happy New Year!
😊😊happy to you all new year
stefanie is a good story teller if you see her tell her she should go to childrenschools and be their storyteller and at same time get their parents over to stay and let all the children play in the gardens they will love it❤❤
A Blessed and Happy New Year to you.
I want to finish making three, seven tired skirts one is almost done, but the gathering takes a lot of time. Fix the grout, that a contractor botched, in the main floor bathroom so I can finally use a shower and help my husband to finally finish that bathroom. Big plans, I have to do them now I have written them down. Ronnie in Saskatchewan
😊😊love to you all and lots of happiness to saw these amazing places all of you to others in the world not just by vlogs❤❤
Gorgeous, Chenonceau is Always the best in my opinion! beats Chambord big time. Speaking of big…..the broach looks like a Scottish cape type fastner. Thanks for all your hard work this year, love love Chateau Love bien sur!
For those wanting to lose weight, I've lost 116 lbs. in the past 2 years. Choose whatever you want to get you started. But for the past year, I just don't eat much at all, VERY small portions. I eat absolutely anything and everything, just in tiny amounts. Honestly, now that I've lost a lot, I just get full very fast. And that's another VERY important thing. STOP EATING WHEN YOURE FULL!! Don't over eat or feel you have to clean your plate. I decided to not kick in the exercise until I plateaued. My son-in-law lost 100 lbs also. He wishes he started exercising earlier because of muscle loss. Ive kicked in walking and more and more chair exercises and small weights. You all work hard everyday. I'm a 68 year old grandmother who had become sedentary. I'm proud of my progress and am confident my last 40-50 lbs will come off this year. I'm focusing on positive intentions, good energy, and healthy foods to make healthy cells. ALL of my former aches and pains (knees and shoulder) no longer hurt. I try not to be around negative people. Life's too short, especially at this stage in life. That's why I love all of you! Vivienne what if you took inspiration for your next porcelain project from Ardmore in South Africa. Their things are exquisite! Or have scarves made duplicating your bird designs. Or have Steve digitize your bird plates and play around arranging them into a beautiful wallpaper design like Stephanie did with her father's painting.😊 Happy New Year from Alabama 🎉
Thank you for this wonderful video. Always love all of your vlogs. Happy New Year, to you too, and we will keep right on partying like it is … 2025!…until we see.. 2026! LOL May you be blessed and healthy, and we know you are surely… Loved!!!
